Backyard Leaves completed

I am getting very sidetracked with my knitting. I haven't worked on Somewhat Cowl. I do feel guilty, but I have managed to finish one of long outstanding WIP. Here's Backyard Leaves..... (among my camelias, in that 5 second window when the sun was shining. Cos, it ain't doing that now. The weather in London is grey, wet and cold. It's June in a week!)


The first half took some time to complete. But the second half just got completed very speedily. 2 or 3 days at most. I suppose that is what it's like with second sleeves or second socks.

It really looks great, (maybe except where I seamed it badly, but I'm hoping no one is going to notice!). I love it . The Debbie Bliss Cashmerino is very easy to knit with and the finished product looks great. I finished it just in time for the cold weather we are having!!!
